👉 Compressed fumes refer to a fine, invisible mixture of gases and particulates that are trapped under high pressure within a confined space or container. This can occur naturally, such as in volcanic eruptions or industrial processes, or be intentionally generated, like in welding or certain chemical reactions. When these fumes are released into the air, they pose significant health risks due to their small size, which allows them to penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, leading to respiratory issues, irritation, and long-term damage. Proper ventilation and protective measures are essential to mitigate the dangers associated with compressed fumes.
